laughter.. smiles..sleep ..no school.. family.. friends.. snow.. peppermint stick mocha's.. gifts.. thoughts.. shopping..mmm this break from school has been wonderful. being able to just relax and have nothing i feel the need to worry about has been so amazing. i've been able to spend time with both sets of grandparents. i've been able to both give and receive. when asked what my favorite gift has been i've been responding with a not so normal one. on Christmas day my family and i were apart of a group that served Christmas dinner to a group of about 200 people in the Archbold community. some were there simply for the fellowship and some were there simply for the food. my heart reaches out to those who are less fortunate than i. yes, i am so happy for all the many different gifts i received from my family. but being able to give others what i was able to give was truly joy giving for me. Jesus calls us to reach out to others who are less fortunate. He calls us to humble ourselves before Him, and in doing that we realize we are not on this earth for the well-being of ourselves. we are called to be the hands and feet of Him. i am so grateful for the many opportunities i have had in my life so far to reach out. i believe it has made a huge impact in how i view my life and the struggles i encounter by putting them into perspective. well those are my thoughts for right now..i hope to post again soon.take care.
